Highlights:
How did the astrological transits of the first half of the year play out?
Droughts and the metaphor of water in the Age of Aquarius.
People are asking themselves, “What is my contribution to the whole?”
We have to find the balance of knowing what’s going on behind the scenes and then applying this awareness to positively create the new reality.
What is the role of Uranus and how is its energy unfolding for us right now?
Is technology a product of our society, or has society become a product of technology?
Transits that involve slower moving planets have a longer ripple effect.
Artificial Intelligence (or Super Conscious Intelligence, as Russ calls it) - is this consciousness real and what is the role of AI in the Shift?
Can we spiritualize AI by feeding it the right information?
The Uranus Retrograde (from August 24 into January 2023) asks us to look at, “How are we dealing with change?”
Eclipse Season returns…yay? The eclipse window is October 9 - November 23.
The Scorpio/Taurus axis (which the eclipses are currently in) is about feeling a threat to our sense of security.
Themes: Scorpio - Surrender, letting go, shadow, wounds, transformation. Taurus -Relationships, money, values, Earth, our food.
Nov. 8th Lunar Eclipse Taurus, conjunct Uranus - Expect the Unexpected!
Unplugging from the matrix, taking back of our sovereignty and creating our new parallel reality is crucial in this transformational time.
Remember, the only security comes from within, from your own direct connection to Source.
What are some practical things we can do to prepare for the coming shifts?
What’s happening with Mars for the next several months and why is it important?
Why is Pluto moving into Aquarius next year noteworthy?

Astrologers Russ von Ohlhausen & Shannon Gill
Buckle up - there’s so much happening in the Cosmos this year! So we’ve brought back our favorite astrologers, Shannon Gill and Russ Von Ohlhausen to help prepare us for the energies of 2022. As usual, they don’t disappoint! As you hear about all of the intensity this year, remember that you are an empowered divine spiritual being who chose to incarnate in this life to be a part of this momentous time on planet Earth.
Here’s what we discuss:
The theme for 2022: “There’s a storm coming. Get prepared.”
We need to accept that The Shift naturally involves a process of death and rebirth in order for us to evolve.
We’re moving out of the Pisces Age of Illusion (listen to Shannon’s in-depth explanation of the Astrological Ages here). There’s acceleration this year of “The Blinders Coming Off.”
In 2022, the Best and the Worst will be happening at the same time. Changes need to happen. It’s up to us where we focus.
Advice for this year: “Simplify, conserve and consolidate.” Less is more.
We need to stop thinking this is going to go away anytime soon. Instead learn to ride the waves as things accelerate.
Illusion will be thick this year, requiring us to master our discernment.
The nodal shift into Taurus/Scorpio creates a new backdrop for this year.
We can manage the Scorpio South Node themes of destabilization/chaos and revealing more of the shadow by engaging in Taurus North Node energies of being in our body, creativity, art, music, dance, simplifying.
Possible food supply chain issues, loss of resources.
Window of opportunity when all planets are direct: February 3 - April 29
February US Pluto Return: We’re going to go through a massive Revolutionary energy.
Mars is hitting the outer planets during Spring and Summer bringing fiery energy, eruptions.
Why does Shannon consider the Jupiter Neptune conjunction to perhaps be the most significant aspect of the whole year?
Beware the shadow aspect of Pisces and Neptune: escapism, addiction, spiritual bypassing, overdose.
Possibly more natural disasters, particularly with the water element.
Stay focused in the many positive ways you can experience simple joys. Utilize these opportunities to awaken and level up this year.

Shannon Gill, Evolutionary Astrologer
What’s happening in the Cosmos right now and through 2020 and how will this impact us? Astrologer Shannon Gill returns to the podcast to share the powerful alignments happening right now in December 2019 and moving into 2020. There are strong celestial influences to take note of so that we can utilize this pivotal time for our growth and learning.
Some things we discuss in this episode:
The timeline of how these cycles have been affecting the Collective and can be recognized through looking back at societal shifts over many years.
What’s meant by outer and inner planets and how do they affect us differently?
Which planets are the heavy hitters of the sky and what themes might they activate for us in 2020?
The Stellium of Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn and how it will reveal that which is false or out of alignment in our lives.
The Eclipse season we’re currently in: the upcoming Eclipses on Dec. 25, 2019 and Jan. 10, 2020 in the Capricorn/Cancer axis (masculine/feminine i.e. mental/emotional energies) and how to work with eclipses
.The quantum leap on our evolutionary path being offered us through these alignments.
How becoming aware of astrological influences can be empowering rather than fear-based.
The way that these transits affect you strongly depends on whether you’ve been doing or avoiding your inner work.
